Best TIG welder employers?

admin

I've learned to TIG weld and am searching for employment. Aside from sheet metal fabricators where should I be looking for a job? What sorts of businesses hire TIG welders?
Reply:Aluminum boat manufacturers, machine shops, titanium sporting good manufacturers. These all generally pay fairly low. If you can weld pipe, look in to the pipe trades at UA.orgUA Local 598
